On this page, you can configure Rider's NuGet package manager.
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Search | |
Include prerelease | If this option is enabled, Rider will search and install pre-release versions of packages. |
Include unlisted | If this option is enabled, Rider will search and install versions of packages that are at unlisted on the server (for example, at NuGet website). You may want to use this option to see outdated versions of packages. |
Restore | |
Allow Rider to restore missing packages | This option defines global NuGet package restore policy. You may want to disable NuGet package restore if you have poor Internet connection, or if you work with a large solution with complex dependencies, where restoring packages with default settings can actually break compilation. |
Automatically restore missing packages when necessary | This option affects different scenarios, where Rider automatically restores NuGet packages — e.g. when opening or building projects. By the way, automatic NuGet restore before building can be toggled on the settings page. |
.NET Core restore engine | By default, JetBrains Rider uses its own implementation of the .NET Core restore engine. You can enable the MSBuild engine instead, which you may need if you use Paket dependency manager in your projects. Even more, this option will be automatically set to MSBuild if JetBrains Rider detects Paket configs in your solution. |
